Casting calls are currently taking place for the as-yet-untitled fifth Transformers live-action movie.

Transformers World has a copy of the call, which says the film is looking for stand-ins, extras and supporting actors.

"The film, produced by Paramount Pictures and currently using the working title of 'E75,' will begin shooing in June 2016 in London, England with additional scenes to be filmed in Detroit," it reads. "Casting directors are now setting up auditions for new lead and supporting roles. Extras, stand-ins and photo doubles will be cast closer to the start of production this summer."

You can check out more details at the link above and see an official(?) writeup for the film below, via the casting notice.

In the latest installment of “Transformers,” two-time Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg is returning to reprise his role as Cade Yeager, and Daytime Emmy Awards nominee Peter Cullen returns as the voice of Optimus Prime. Directors Guild of America DGA Award winner Michael Bay will direct “Transformers 5” from an original screenplay written by Academy Award winner Akiva Goldsman. Bay will also executive produce the film under the banner of his production company Bay Films, along with three-time Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg for Amblin Entertainment.

“Transformers 5” is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 23, 2017. Two additional sequels will be filmed, with release dates of June 8, 2018 and June 28, 2019 respectively.
